What do you think Ricky Hatton should do with the remaining three fights of his career?
He has Malignaggi coming up this year, then two more years coming up in 2009. Provided he gets by Paulie, what do you think he shoudl do with the rest of his career? Hist last two fights....
Sorry about the poll saying multiple choice, it's not. Just vote for you you want most.
Vote. Discuss.
Amir Khan!
lol only joking. Anyone see that in 'The Sun' last week khan reckons he can take hatton in 09? ridiculous.
Hatton should fight the winner of Paquiao/ODLH if he after money, cotto if hes after respect, and bradley if he's after an easy belt.
There's a decent chance Khan could. I doubt the 5 pounds would really effect Khan and it would be huge fight in the U.K.

i lol'd at that, manny hits harder than floyd by a mile, not even in a p4p sense, he literally hits way harder than floyd
...when's the last time you took a "piss test"?...I think now is a good time...

i think he loses to paulie. but if he wins holt and bradley. maybe witter/torres, prove hes best from uk.
...didn't Witter loose to someone who's realitively unkown?...at least Hatton lost to someone thought to be the best P4P fighter at present...
Kabuki Joe
the only reason i would ever want hatton to fight witter would be to shut witter up...but as of late witter aint been running his mouth so i dont want that fight at all cause it would be boring as hell....as most witter fights are!
id like to see him, 1st beat paulie (which i think he will not by KO tho) then id like to see him fight torres or bradley maybe then finish with pacman!
pacman fight would be interesting cause he seems to carry his speed and power up the weights!
after malignaggi...
fight these 3 (since you said pick 3) in any order:
pacquiao
cotto
de la hoya.
that would be the best 3 to finish off a career...win or lose really.
however i see malignaggi getting past hatton.
Hell no.
No.
And could be a good fight.

Hatton should fight Malignaggi and then fight Pacquiao if he can get the fight. He would have a good chance to beat Manny and amongst casual fans at least, his stock would skyrocket.
After that I'd imagine he might want to coax Floyd out of retirement for a rematch, or failing that meet Oscar. Both fights would be bullshit though, so I wouldn't mind seeing him in with Cotto, even though he'd lose.
Alternatively he could just beat Malignaggi, Bradley and Witter.
LOL, apart from my insane, probably unjustifiable hatred of Paulie its the fact that IMO Paulie will completely fade under the pressure. Its a shame that the fight is not happening in New York because Paulie would inevitably get drawn into a war and that would suit Hatton just fine.
As for nearly getting stopped against Lazcano, i totally disagree mate, yes he took 2 great left hands but he was only stunned momentarily, at no point did he look like he was about to be stopped.
The Mayweather fight would take any boxer some getting over and Lazcano, whilst being at a decent level, was always going to be his "easy" comeback fight. He won a landslide UD, shame he couldnt get the KO.
Against Paulie he should be more hyped as its for his old title, the one he took from Kostya Tszyu. Paulie has looked far less than convincing in several of his last fights and i just dont think he is in Hattons class.
paulie wasnt stopped by cotto so i dont see hatton stopping him.i can see paule trying to emulate what floyd did in his fight winning on points. i was referring to round when lazcano had hatton in BIG trouble and he wasnt returning punches, then the ref stopped the action and let ricky tie his shoes.
GREATEST career plan for him, PAC should be in their ...
his resume would show that he would have fought 2 p4p no. 1s not to mention that he will be the favorite over pac...
I doubt he will have any problems getting by Paulie, when he is done he will have the IBF and IBO belts wonts he?
He should then take on one of the other champs, Bradley for instance and try to take a 3rd title and then sign off with a superfight against Pacman.
why are you so sure hatton beats paulie. hes not same fighter since he fought mayweather. he struggled at times against lazcano and was almosted stopped. i also recently watched his fight with ben tackie which was few years back but hes a different boxer now.
